So, in light of my "RIP Rush Limbaugh" thread being locked despite no vitriol being posted in it, in what appears to be another arbitrary decision made anonymously by a moderator, I have to ask: Which eulogies and RIPs are acceptable and which aren't?
A search of "RIP" in Off-Topic yields only a handful (Glen Campbell, David Ogden Stiers, and Hugh Hefner were ones I noted) but there have been other posts about the deaths of significant people. Neil Peart and Eddie Van Halen come quickly to mind from last year.
What would happen if someone memorialized the death of Howard Stern? Dan Rather? Would those threads be locked as well?
